These colorful Chinese Lantern Macarons, filled with rich jackfruit buttercream, are a great way to celebrate Chinese culture and cuisine. The exotic jackfruit and almond macaron shells combine to create a taste and color combination that is harmonious.

Ingredients: For the Macarons:. 180g almond flour. 180g powdered sugar. 150g egg whites aged, at room temperature. 1/4 tsp cream of tartar. 150g granulated sugar. Red and yellow gel food coloring. For the Jackfruit Buttercream:. 150g unsalted butter at room temperature. 300g powdered sugar. 1/2 cup jackfruit puree. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Orange food coloring optional. Edible gold dust for decoration optional.

Instructions: To make the macarons, line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Into a bowl, sift together powdered sugar and almond flour. Beat the egg whites until frothy in a different bowl and stir in the cream of tartar. Add the granulated sugar gradually while beating until stiff peaks form. Just combine the almond flour mixture with the egg whites by gently folding it in. Separate the batter into two halves, then color one half with red food coloring and the other yellow. Spoon the colored batter into individual piping bags fitted with a round tip. Leaving space between each, pipe tiny circles onto baking sheets that have been prepared. After 30 minutes of resting, tap the baking sheets against the counter to release any trapped air. Set oven temperature to 300F 150C. Bake the macarons for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are set and have little feet. Before taking them off the baking sheets, let them cool completely. To make the Jackfruit Buttercream, beat the butter at room temperature until it becomes pale and creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually and beat until thoroughly mixed. Beat in vanilla extract and jackfruit puree until smooth. If you want a bright color, add some orange food coloring. Assembling: Align macaron shells with comparable dimensions and forms. Spoon a generous amount of jackfruit buttercream onto a shell, then place it between two other shells. For an elegant touch, you can optionally dust with edible gold dust. To allow the flavors to meld, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for at least 24 hours before serving. Reheat to room temperature prior to consumption. These delicious Chinese Lantern Macarons are perfect to share and enjoy!
